this is it

colleen arrives today
bernie is a wreck worrying about her visit
the house..............

is well.........

lived in

(apparently by pigs and packrats)

normally i clean and such for two weeks
i cook i fret and i do all the prep
this time between my back and other issues
i couldn't do much at all

bernie had to do it
he kept thinking i would

i told him i didn't think i would be able to

apparently i was right

now
i hope that with what i did do
i didn't throw my back out again
that lower back is feeling not only twingie
but also like it's about to twist again
i don't want to revisit that particular pain
if it's ok with the universe
to say excruciating is an understatement

and it seems to get much worse if i get upset

so now he is dilly dallying around
i have to finish my coffee and try and find the living room table
then do the bed for her

he has to run to get some stuff at the store to augment the greens on in my little deck garden for supper
he's sitting there working on a model car
i am just as bad as i am sitting here typing to you all

colleen better really really love us

anyway
if you don't hear from me
it's cause me and her have run off to the outlets shopping

i didn't get her gift basket done either
damn
